Welcome!
Welcome to the home page of the Siouxland Samplers Quilt Guild. We are a group of quilters, quilt lovers, fiber artists, fabric collectors, and late-night sewers. We enjoy making quilts, sleeping under quilts, or just looking at quilts. The expertise and support and inspiration we receive from each other make our group one you'll want to belong to. If you would like to find out more about what we do as a group, see the "About Us" link.

Announcements
We thought you might want information about a Quilter's Get-Away in Okoboji, March 23rd to 28th.
Several members of our Guild go every year and always come back excited. This year's theme is "Slumber Party" promises lots of fun, food, fabric, and classes. Firefly Quilt Shop is bringing 1000+ bolts of fabric!
Click here to find out all the details. Guild members Anietra Janssen, Robyn Wright, Deb Carson, and June DeVries have all gone in previous years, in case you want to talk to someone firsthand about this retreat.
Sounds like fun!
Just a wish for a Happy New Year to all of you, and a reminder of the Guild meeting coming up on January 9th at 7:00 pm. There is no Guild newsletter for January, so read on further for what's happening at the meeting.
We will be playing a fun game at the meeting. You won't have to bring anything for the game--just yourselves.
Secret Sisters for 2012 will be starting in January. Deb Carson will be in charge, so contact her if you have any questions.
Greeters will be Ronda Reitz, Pat Calhoun, and Mary Stoneburg. The Monthly Mini will be provided by Lorraine Smith.
The 2012 dues are due if you haven't already paid them--$20.00 a year or $15.00 for seniors 65 and over. There is a membership form to fill out--you will find it in the December newsletter.
We'll see you at the meeting!
Our annual Christmas Potluck meeting starts at 6:30, so don't forget to set your clocks ahead half an hour!
As usual, there will be a lot going on besides the great food, so check the current newsletter for a checklist of what to bring.
Membership fees are due in January, so avoid the rush and pay them at the December meeting. Don't forget to print and bring the membership form on the last page of the current newsletter.
Happy Holidays and we hope to see you Monday night!
